Blogs and Me
January 22, 2005 @ 06:20 AM
Here’s something funny for you to think about: I hate blogs. I hate them. Really. They’re usually nothing more than someone prattling on about their lives, situations nobody cares about, etc. They’re painfully boring. Mostly. The irony here being that I HAVE a blog. Maybe blogs are all about the blogger, not the readers. I don’t know. That said, there are actually a few blogs that have managed to hold my interest. Not many. For those who are interested, here they are:
- Rands In Repose – a technology leaning blog with extremely interesting applications to real life. I think I like this blog because the author’s life is similar enough to mine that I can relate to most of his posts.
- Squire of Gothos – a friend of mine. We often engage in intellectual conversations about pretty much any topic, from religion to politics to pop culture. A lot of these topics find themselves into posts on his blog. As of this moment, however, he seems to have forgotten about his blog for some time now.
- Loafe – probably the only pure “web journal” that I care to read. Whereas RandsInRepose could be described as having a Technological focus, and Squire of Gothos has more of a philosophical focus, Loafe is just life.
So, I was going to go into a whole discussion about blogs and the media. And I still will, look for that later tonight, but I just realized that today is January 22nd, 2005! For those of you that don’t know the significance of that, that is the day that Apple released about 6 things to their retail customers. So I must now jet of down to University Village to the Apple Store to spend a lot of hard-earned money. :) Stay tuned for part two of this post tho!
PS – I’ve just noticed that my web server shut off for a short while. My apologies to those who couldn’t access the site!
